I love this song or in other words THIS IS MY SONG!!!!!

Don't Get Comfortable (In Anything)

I was asked recently why I did a certain thing, I think the persons actual words were "You did what! Black people don't do that." Of course my response was "REALLY!"

We as people can't keep ourselves in a box. If I only do stuff because others did it, I would never do anything new or different. We get so wrapped up in our routine that we become comfortable and do the same things over and over. I don't want to get comfortable. In my race, gender or even in my fears. Yes I said fears. Sometimes we are so afraid of the unknown we get comfortable in our fears and we don't try things because we are scared. Don't let your fears rule you! Don't be comfortable! Let nothing hold you back, don't have regrets.

Try that food that you have never tasted but you think will be nasty.
Take that trip that you have been putting off due to finances.
Be uncomfortable in a room of people you don't know.
Eat that meal alone and not at home in the restaurant.

Kliner: Pain is inevitable, misery is optional.

No Regrets

Compete with Yourself, Not Your Girlfriends

My friends and I are all so different but of course we have characterizes that make us compatible as friends. I never thought of myself as someone that competed with my friends. So there are no regrets for me in this department.

I always try to grow, take inventory and make changes every year. I have enough issues of my own it would be too stressful to try to compare my life to my friends. We grew up different and have different hopes and dreams. Which makes it easy to compete with myself. Only I have a understanding of where I was as a person (mentally, physically, and emotionally) a few years back. So as a new year comes and I see how I have grown, I'm excited. I haven't always been a fan of change. But I understand it is needed.

Key points that I think are good to live by:

Focus on beating your own standards and setting your own targets. You should be competing only against yourself, or rather your better you.

We should all push toward our personal goals with passion and determination.

Summer Come Already

Visit the beach filled summer bayou near the hot green paddled sea where county magnolia vines produced by fresh season weather sparkle wet surrounded by lush ice melon. Experience the deep delicious dark fragrant coast discover the wave of heat that brings the want of grits and berry tea. That the need of apple pie and open sky bring together the tradition that was once left in the past. Hot tamales and blow pops. Water melon and cookouts. When the rain is warm and nobody cares that it's storming.

I love the summer....Especially in the south

What's your favorite season and why?

K liners

She needs to call her momma with that drama



Don't make your business my business



Let my heart go somewhere it belongs




You make me chase you like its a compliment

Bridget Jones Moment (Me)

I wanted to find something deep to say yet I just breath
I wanted to find something sweet to say but it all came out so mean
This awkward part of life
Where wanting to plan life just seem like a must
Yet you plan and God laughs
Like he laughs when I look at him, when I stare at him
I want to tell him something
Something different then what I have ever told him
As much as my mind wants my heart just will not give up
The fear of loneliness is equal to the fear of him knowing
I know that I have to tell him
The need is overwhelming yet I just breath
I wanted to find something sweet to say
It comes out so mean because I have to act unimpressed
By his plans or his dreams
I have a path of my own that I'll rather travel alone
I can't believe this way of thinking hasn't changed
This is where it ends, the wanting
Wanting to say something but instead I give him the cold shoulder
It's all about self preservation
In the end if I say anything the reality wouldn't be as good as the dream

Bridget Jones Moment Spotlight

Author: Veronica A. Shoffstall

After a while
you learn the subtle difference between holding a hand and chaining a soul
and you learn love doesn't mean leaning and company doesn't always mean security.
And you begin to learn that kisses aren't contracts and presents aren't always promises
and you begin to accept your defeats with your head up and and your eyes ahead with the grace of a woman, not the grief of a child.
And you learn to build all your roads on today because tomorrow's ground is too uncertain for plans and futures have a way of falling down in mid-flight.
After a while you learn that even sunshine burns if you get too much
So you plant your own garden and decorate your own soul instead of waiting for someone to bring you flowers
And you learn that you really can endure, that you really are strong and you really do have worth and you learn and you learn
with every good-bye you learn.

The Hot Guy

What a world he must live in to be so….what is a good word…hmmmm……delicious that he could have his pick of any girl he wants. He's like a new hand bag to females everyone is trying to put their name on the waiting list…

All we talk about is partying, fashion and MEN

Apparently guys have a list too and we aren’t meeting their criteria as much as they aren’t meeting ours. So when do we just compromise……
